A Tart- Sweet Vinaigrette with a Gorgeous Hue and lots of Zesty Favor! Simply whisked together.

Adds a super pop of color to all your salad creations!
A very juicy vinaigrette with just enough extra virgin olive oil to emulsify.

I squeeze my own blood oranges! I like a little pulp in the vinaigrette.

I have seen Blood Orange Juice available in supermarkets and health food shops.

Well I found this bag of oranges hilarious!

What’s funny is… THEY ARE BLOOD ORANGES… WITH A NEW NAME! (That’s new!)
Perhaps a more pleasing alternative name to the typical blood orange.

Blood Oranges:

• An orange with a deep, rich reddish-magenta  color with a more intense berry flavor, slightly tangy orange with a full-flavor profile

• Each bite is a delightful symphony of refreshing zest and juicy goodness

• They contain the antioxidant called anthocyanin and loaded with vitamin C

• If you ask me – wonderful to use a fruit with this naturally vibrant color!

• Blood Oranges (Raspberry Oranges) are available December through June

Enjoy this wonderful vinaigrette!
